Papers should present results supported by evidence of novel contribution.

Of interest are lessons learned from digital curation activities and recommendations for best practice.
A prize will be awarded for the best paper.

3. Posters
Poster submissions offer a great opportunity to showcase and promote your work to the community through images rather than just words, as well as interact with others, gather feedback and exchange ideas.

To encourage interaction and networking, the programme includes dedicated poster sessions in person. Posters will be displayed physically on the conference venue and on the online event platform. If selected, you will be invited to give a 1-minute presentation in person at IDCC25.
There will be a prize for best poster!

4. Workshop submissions are now closed.
As part of our IDCC25 programme, we invite submissions for in-person and online workshops. Workshops are events taking place before the main IDCC conference, and next year will take place on Monday 17 February 2025.
In the past the workshops have focused on practical, hands-on work, often being used for training. If you have an established tool or working practice that yields results in the world of research data management, you are also welcome to submit an application and show everyone how it works!
